Specializes in critical care.

hi!:coollook:

i was reading some posts lately about crne and one member posted an answer that crne focuses more on the psychosocial area more than the technical aspect of nursing..

to all canadian nursing grads:

please share the scope of psychosocial nursing issues to study:

(i believe that there might be a slight difference between Canadian-based nursing and American-based nursing education)

thank you for your inputs!:heartbeat

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PCVICU and peds oncology.

Much of the psychosocial content of the exam relates to therapeutic communication. There are also questions about health promotion, social supports in the community and pertinent Canadian web sites. If you have the study guide, there are many sample questions that will help you understnd how they phrase their questions, what sort of responses they look for and some areas for further investigation.

Go to the CNO website (www.cno.org) and RNAO (www.rnao.ca) and look up the standards/best practice guidelines that pertain to therapeutic communication and nurse-client relationships. This will give you the basics that will help with the exam
